Hey dual monitor users! Anyone figure out a way to make Winamp remember it's place?

I'd love to have Winamp on the second monitor but it doesn't remember it's position properly (it's always partially off the screen) and when you enable an auxiliary window like the EQ or the playlist, it jumps to the other monitor.

Interesting. I know what you mean. I mostly use my primary display (19") as the "playground" for ICQ, Winamp, temp monitoring progs, utilities, e-mail, etc and have the browsers and office progs default positions set to the secondary (20") as it gives me more screen real estate in that there's no windows tool bar on the secondary. Still once you have about ten windows open it doesn't matter much anyway. :D .

I've found a good way to keep open windows organized is to "gather and cascade" all open windows on the primary and pick and choose which to snap to display #2 via hotkey settings in Hydravison. I can't remember if Ultramon has the gather/cascade feature or not. I think it does, you'll have to check.

I'm using the Latest Ultramon and it dose not seem to have the gather/cascade option. Hmmm... any other advantage to Hyravision?

Hmm, mine always starts in the second monitor right where I put it. Do you have options -> prefrences -> options -> Multi-monitor and Litestep VWM compatible mode checked? I do.

WHOO HOO! You're 'da man, Schwartz! >?

That's perfect. Now it stays on the second monitor, and the eq and playlist drags along with it.
